Hi Trond,

Well, I had a go at updating the patch to apply against 2.6.0-test11 
tonight. Hope this is something you wanted done.

There are a couple of things that I'm unsure about. Particularly a line in 
call_connect_status that is assigned a different state than what the 
original source in the patch had.

So, if you have a little time, could you check my work.

I have included a bunch of info in case you need it.

The patch lives at /pub/linux/kernel/people/raven/nfs. Included there are 
two files with names ending in 'questionable'. They where the only changes 
that I thought might need your attention. Additionally, I made a tar of 
the 'orig' and 'rej' files produced from applying the original patch in 
case you want to check them. I haven't tested this at all yet. I think it 
best to wait wait for your feedback as to the accuracy of the work.

If the patch is OK with you then I will have a go at back porting it to 
2.4. If Aaron is able to, we can have him hammer it to death and perhaps 
collect some performance data.

Comments please?

Ian
